Customer Rating:
Summary: I use it a lot!
Comment: I bought this cuz it was only $[...], expecting to use it only occasionally. I ended up using it for dinner 4 times a week!
PROS: With a small cooking surface, it is perfect for single servings (or picky family members with different dinner preferences.) It cooks chicken and fish very quickly. No more than 5 or 6 minutes for a thawed chicken breast; less for fish fillets. I find steak to be juicier and more tender than frying or broiling.
Kinda easy to clean. Just wipe with a couple paper towels. When cool, clean around the rest of the components.
CONS: Small cooking surface. The cord is short. And, except for the plastic handle, it gets VERY HOT so you cannot move it or turn it around when hot. Depending on what you are cooking, the drip cup may need emptying during the cooking process, which can be messy.
Sandwiches do not brown well, due to the height of the internal grids.

Summary: Comparable to George Foreman... kinda
Comment: I've never owned a George Foreman grill, but if I were to believe the the reviews, then this grill is pretty decent in comparison, and much cheaper.
You can grill slices of meat, sandwiches, burgers, whatever. I used to have to cook things like frozen fishsticks, chicken tenders, and tator tots to feed this kid, and instead of using my oven, I used this. My frozen foods are usually cooked to crispy perfection at the time it takes to preheat my oven. It's kinda small though so you'll have to grill your burgers one at a time and despite the picture at the top, you probably won't be able to do kabobs. I love toasting my sandwiches on this thing and getting stripey grill marks. And I love watching all the fat drip off my meat and into the tray below.
Downsides include cleaning. The grill plates don't detach, and you're not allowed to submerge the thing in water, so that means you have to wipe the grill off carefully with soapy water while it's still warm before the fat coagulates. Then you have to wash the soap off and try not to wet the undetachable wire at the same time. Kinda tricky.
